And seriously most of the game runs at a perfect ~25 fps clip. Sure it sometimes climbs down to 20 (rarely happens) and I even encountered a few random ~10 fps places but IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER. The graphics whore in me is eager to notice and point out those flaws in my mind but the logical and gamer part of me is saying "fucking hell this game is great, let me get a shotgun so we can quell that bitch and have fun pimping dem hoes."Razoric said:

Sounds surprisingly similar to "I liked Paper Mario a lot, but I didn't think the general public would, so I scored it lower." People were howling over that, so why suggest that you should take it into account on GTA:SA?
If a game works, it works. If it works so well that you'd be compelled to deal with slowdown that "makes you want to put the game down" and continue playing for 25+ hours, I'd say the game deserves a super-high score.

It's over, sell your GameCubes.
I'd like to know why the game scored less than perfect. Still great scores, it's just the fact that it's placed side by side with other, better games that takes away the glory of getting 2 9s and a 10.

I'll be playing all 4 of them (already playing GTA), i dont care if there's a missing .5 or 1 score away from 10, they're different reviewers with different tastes, all i know is they're all "must own", its so good to be a multiplatform gamer 
I do wonder if retro had scrapped the multiplayer portion if it would of had an higher score? If a feature in a game is not "perfect" or lacks something that a competitor does such as online, it might be dragged down, even though the single player is AAA. Its ok though, since they're reviewing the whole package, but i wonder if retro had stayed entirely single player if reviewers would have finished playing MP2 with a better taste in their mouth, rather than go play the multiplayer which is just a nice feature but not exactly what MP is all about.
Oh and im shocked at the MGS3 score, i thought kojima would have let us down again, glad it doesnt seem to be the case, MGS2 had huge scores aswell though, so i'll remain on guard for any fucked up story twists

Many journalists said they would have scored it higher if the game were missing the dreaded on-foot sections.

PS2 KID said:Bah. It's sad no one mentioned Rachet and Clank: UYA in this thread.
I did . TWICE. its easier to ignore cause its already out and the reviews been talked about a bit.
Matt Cassamina will turn his rage @ the RE4 + bail ship Nintendo into a horror MP2E score. I predict 8.8

Only because he is blind and sad that Nintendo isn't making a big turn with the Cube anymore. He is still the guy, who'd give a 10% ready Zelda Reborn build a review score of 15 or something.
Musashi Wins!
FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
These Metroid scores should not be cause for such displeasure. Jeezus. Cubers am crying...again.
Looks like Mario Tennis went the Mario Golf route.
And that I'll have to give in and get MGS!

Geez, that was exxagerated. Stop being such an offensive Nintendo tool. It`s a friggin fact that Matt C. was hyping the new Zelda like it was the next coming of Christ, while it doesn't offer anything stunning so far.
sorry but that just doesn't stack up. Poor costumes and animation would make LoTR cease to feel alive.olimario said:
GTA on the other hand, while being far from "realistic," never stops feeling like a living world, despite slowdown, hands with no fingers, poor targeting etc.
I rarely give games with control as poor as GTA:SA the time of day, I just don't have the time, but the game is fun as shit, and I keep playing it so they did something right. I am a notorious play control freak. Some things can just be overlooked. oh and the framerate is pretty acceptable
No excuse me while I don't give a fuck and enjoy MP2, GTA:SA, MGS 3, PoP:WW and every other "good despite fanboy assertations" that is coming out this year.
I have no clue why I picked this out of the morass here. Just enjoy the games people, 9,9,10 is not a bad score.

wow can you say hypocrite? The new Halo has been hyped like it's the next incarnation of god even though it doesn't offer anything revolutionary. It's more of the same, just better and more polished than the last game. I am not saying it's a bad thing.
Zelda has always been about quality, and the new footage was amazing. It's his job to hype that, and deservingly so.
Why do you think it's wrong to hype the new zelda but not halo 2?

No, I'm not a reviewer, but there are a few demos of the game floating around, one of which I was able to score from a friend at EB. That, combined with impressions, and videos I've seen I've yet to see any significant or profound changes in the game from the original MP. MP however was a superb game, so that is in no way a bad thing, but in comparision to the rest of "The Big 4" the leap is considerably small.

Gotta cut them some slack. They did just lose their last big 3rd party exclusive after being promised it wouldn't go to any other system (specifically the PS2).

The fact is, Vice City is just an update of GTA3 which i finished and liked it a lot, but while this got triple 10's, MP2 for some reason didnt. Halo is the same thing, the original got triple 10s and it was a good FPS nothing special, yet HALO 2 got the same score..........i see a trend here.....
I mean besides i dont think i can trust an American score regarding anything after the Bush getting re-elected............ill just wait for EDGE......

Uh, considering the high marks MP2 received it is on par with Halo 2 and GTA:SA. So you're frustration stems from the fact the biggest Xmas GC title didn't score the same as the biggest Xbox and biggest PS2 title? Making it the weakest of all three big Xmas titles? Is this what you are saying? Are you calling MP2 weak compared to Halo 2 and GTA:SA?

And if Edge game the game a "low" score of 9 or *gasp* 8, then would you shut the fuck up?

They sure as hell didnt gave 10 to either gta3 or VC or even Metroid Prime for that matter.......and regarding HALO yes i disagree with them, it deservers more of an 8 from their score system, but regarding San Andreas and Halo 2 i havent played them so i wont comment on those yet.

If you can delude yourself that Metroid Prime 2's controls and visor/scanning shit are fun, then you should be able to pull the wool over your own eyes and pretend it's the greatest game of all time regardless of what EGM thinks.
